Can the Wii U catch a break? After yesterday’s news of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge going multi-platform, Ubisoft decided to one-up Tecmo-Koei by not only making the once Wii U exclusive available on PS3 and 360, but delaying the Wii U version as well to September to coincide with the new multi-platform release.Read More

Scribblenauts Unlimited | Review
Posted on January 28, 2013 by Les Major
Version tested: Wii U
Scribblenauts surprised gamers with the ability to write virtually anything that comes to mind in Max’s notebook and have it pop into the game to help solve puzzles. That concept has grown beyond just being confined to one level now and the game worlds introduced in Scribblenauts Unlimited are a welcome addition. This is especially true since the game is available for Wii U and PC, as well as DS this time around.

LEGO City’s Latest Trailer Gives A Glimpse At The Open World
Posted on January 23, 2013 by Les Major
Many saw LEGO City as an open world family friendly GTA like game when it was first announced. Oddly enough I can’t help but think of similarities as I watch this latest trailer that gives a look at some of the games transportation. LEGO games have come a long way in a short time from LEGO Batman 2 having loose open world controls, to LEGO Lord of the Rings getting the formula down much better. Now it seems we’ll have much more to explore in this latest Wii U title.Read More

Coming this Spring, Wii U gamers will be able to download content from their own version of the virtual console including Nintendo and Super Nintendo titles. These games will be playable on screen as usual, and seperately on your GamePad controller.
The service will have a limited selection to begin with, but will continue to add more as well as Game Boy Advance titles. There is also “special pricing” if you’re looking to upgrade your Wii virtual console titles you’ve transfered over to your Wii U. NES games will cost $1 for the upgrade and SNES titles, $1.50.

January 17th Nintendo Download
Posted on January 17, 2013 by Jason Nason
No love for DSiWare this week as the week’s releases are confined to the Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo released the highly anticipated Fire Emblem Awakening demo today as well as Kirby’s Star Stacker for the 3DS Virtual Console and the quirky Tokyo Crash Mobs. Otherwise there’s a couple of older 3DS retail titles added to digital download and the addition of Amazon Instant Video to the Wii U. Somewhat of a slow week on the download front this week.

Nintendo has revealed the release dates of some upcoming titles for the next few months, for the Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS consoles.
“During the holidays we saw new players respond positively to new game-play experiences using the Wii U GamePad controller and the true 3D of Nintendo 3DS,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With such a diverse lineup of games on the horizon, people will experience a variety of ways to play, whether they’re using the GamePad to scan for criminals or seeing ghosts in 3D on the Nintendo 3DS screen.”
Game & Wario, The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and Wii Fit U will arrive in the first half of the year. Additional information about launch timing for these games will be announced at a later date.Read More

New Super Mario Bros. U | Review
Posted on January 15, 2013 by Les Major
There’s something about New Super Mario Bros. U that feels like a step onto new ground. First off, the map screen is a welcome change featuring winding pathways similar to Super Mario World. I know it’s just a simple cosmetic change, but with such little story in the side-scrolling games compared to the likes of Super Mario Galaxy, the world map gives more of an adventuring feel. I realize this is an odd point to start with, but I’m a huge fan of this and it’s a feature I’ve missed. New Super Mario Bros. Wii did a good job bringing it back, and New Super Mario Bros. U (hereafter Mario U) feels solid with the expansive map returning to the series.Read More

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Jason Bassett
Yesterday, Ubisoft officially released the U-Play app and is now available through the Nintendo Wii-U’s EShop. When the user downloads and installs the application, the user will need to enter a username and password to access special features upon using the application.
Some of the features the user has access to are information of games that Ubisoft releases, rewards, achievements and other content. Some of the content, however is still locked like U-Play TV, friends, and even more interestingly enough the the U-Play shop. When checking the Ubisoft website, these features are listed as Coming Soon.
Some of the games having already been released that work with the new app are Assassin’s Creed III, Raving Rabbids, and ZombiU.

What’s Really Impressive About The Wii U?
Posted on December 1, 2012 by Les Major
Recently, WB Interactive hosted an event in Toronto where I got to check out some Wii U games from them. Those really impressed me and I was fortunate enough to try out Nintendo Land as well. So what is really cool about the Wii U that should make gamers want one right away? Well I’m glad you asked.Read More

Nintendo Mii’s Enjoy A Day In Toronto
Posted on November 27, 2012 by Les Major
To celebrate the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo has released this video of a bunch of Mii’s enjoying the day in Toronto. It shows them getting ready for the day and heading out to check out Nintendo’s latest console. They even stop by the Wii U truck. Darkain Arts Gamers has an article on the truck itself when it stopped by Hamilton, Ontario.
It’s a really cute video! How did launch day go for everyone else? Picked up your Wii U yet, or are you waiting for another shipment to come in? I’ve seen quite a few of the basic systems around stores that actually have stock, but otherwise it’s been pretty well sold out. As noted earlier, the system has sold over 475,000 units in it’s first week so I guess it’s safe to say all those new exciting features are a success!

Wii U U.S Sells 475 000 Units In First Week
Posted on November 26, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
Nintendo’s Wii U has dominated our frontpage over the last few weeks, especially after the system’s launch on the 18th. We finally have our first look at sales figures according to the NPD group and things are looking up for Nintendo’s next big thing.
The install base for the Wii U currently sits at 475,000 as of the 25th according to the Big N, not too shabby. Considering GameStop claimed to have 500,000 units already paid for by consumers, are there 100,000 Wii Us still unclaimed? That’s doubtful! With systems already fetching $500 or more on ebay demand is surely only going to increase as Christmas Day approaches.
Do you own a WiiU? If not are you going to pick up one once production picks up or the initial rush wears off? Let us know in the comments section!

Wii U: Assassin’s Creed III
Posted on November 24, 2012 by Jason Bassett
Being a fan of the franchise of Assassin’s Creed III, it was so hard to wait for the Wii U version. I finally got the time to play the game and beat it within a short time. It’s been a while (see: year) since we have seen what the Assassins were up to since Ezio’s stories ended. Well, after Juno took over Desmond and showed him the end of Ezio’s storyline, we have been waiting to see what the new guy, Connor, will be like.
It should be noted that this isn’t a review. It is merely feedback of Assassin’s Creed III on the Wii U. I will be discussing how the game plays using the Wii U GamePad and the Pro Controller. On that note, let’s talk about the Wii U version.Read More

Wii U: The Next Generation is Here! Part One
Posted on November 23, 2012 by Jason Bassett
It’s finally here.
Nintendo finally launched its brand new console and I have spent a week drooling and playing on it for the last week now. It’s only been five days, but other than my day job, I have done nothing but use every bit of the console since its release on November 18, 2012. From the consumers lining up at Gamestops across the US to the heart aching 5GB update, users all over the US are now falling in love with the system. The Wii U is unique with its gamepad controller that acts as a tablet and it has brought some interesting ways to play games like Assassin’s Creed III, but the real games to try are ZombiU and Nintendo Land. From here on out, I will be speaking about my experiences with both the Wii U GamePad and the Pro Controller, along with the aforementioned video games above. Read More
